Three more candidates for dele gates to the republican national con vention nave answered the Question- determined to fight to tue last min ute against the nomination of the senator. Mr. Hamaker, on account of an ar tide in the Oregon Journal, issued another letter yesterday, going into his lite history. The most impurtan part of the latest statement from Mr. Hamaker said: "The last few yrars I lived in Iowa. I operated . drug store at Stanhope, and at that time druggists were au thorized under the law to sell intoxi cating liquor for medical purposes. Prosecutions under the law allowed the county attorney a part of the fines collected. The county attorney who was holding office at that time during the '.erm of court which was the last during the term of office of the county attorney caused charges to be brought against almost every druggist in the county, about 20 in number, myself included. I- was known as the one who was opposed to the sale of liquor in drug stores. "The principal charge against me was the selling' of alcohol under a physician's directions to a man dan gerously ill and- expected to die at any moment. The county attorney who brought the charge against me operated through a party to whom I refused liquor. I fought the charge, had two trials without conviction, covering a period of about two years, and in the meantime sold my drug business, and made arrangements to move to Washington, and rather than to remain in Iowa several months to again try the case, I compromised and settled the matter with the county attorney who s .cceeded the one who brought the charges in the first instance, by paying a small fine. "The county attorney vho caused the charges to be brought, against me was disbarred irom the law practice forever." The anti-Chamberlain democrats are stressing the point that in the democratic primaries the -issue is whether the party shall stand with Wilson or Chamberlain, for, according to Mr. Wilson's letter to Mr. Hamaker, the treaty of Versailles is the test of loyalty to the president, and Sen ator Chamberlain voted for the Lodge resolutions. A vote for Chamberlain, his -pp0l.ents declare, is a vote against Mr. Wilson. One of the sidelights on the ' row among the democrats is the situation Which democrats, who are regis tered as republicans, find ' jmsdves. They are unable to take a hand in the only real scran- that the Dartv has had in year:? and all they can do Is take the pose of very interested but helpless spectators. , Board of Engineers in Reply De clares Port of Portland Is Not Yet Overtaxed. OREGOXIAS NEWS BURE AU.Wash ngton. May 18. The time and place for a hearing on the proposed har bor improvement at Vancouver, Wash., will be fixed at a meeting of the board of army engineers for riv ers and harbors here on May 25. The board Is considering the question of whether the hearing can best be held in this city or at Vancouver. A tentative report made by the dis trict engineer,' which is favorable, has failed to convince the board of en gineers - that the improvement is practicable, but the board wishes to give the local interests at Vancouver an opportunity to be heard. The board's position is that the proposed improvement at "Vancouver is ren dered unnecessary by the convenience of that city to the deep sea Port of Portland. In its report the board says, in part: Surrey la Directed "The river and harbor act approved April 8, 1917. contains the following items: s " 'The secretary of war is directed to make a survey and submit a re port to congress upon the advisability of securing a channel in -the Colum bia river from the -mouth of the Willamette river to the eastern limits of the city of Vancouver, Wash., equal in width and depth to the project channel from the mouth of the Wil lamette river to the city of Portland, Or., and what co-operation, if any, should be given.' . "The report of the district engi neer is favorable for the improve ment of the locality by the provision of a channel 30 feet deep from the mouth of the Willamette river to the interstate highway bridge, contingent upon the necessary dikes on the Washington side being provided by the property - owners." After viewing various cost esti mates, the report continues: "The plan of improvement" is for a channel along the city front be tween the interstate highway bridge and the Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway bridge, and thence generally near the center of the river, with dikes on one or both sides. Alternative Plan Viewed. A supplemental report considers an alternative plan for a channel along or near the Washington shore. "In accordance with the law, the report has been referred to the board of engineers for rivers and harbors for consideration and recommenda tion. The report is accompanied by a statement and request by the port of Vancouver, addressed to the sec retary of war, and by copies of let ters from parties in interest urging the improvement. The board is not Chas. N. Ryan REPUBLICAN FOR Constable (Paid Advertisement) The Man You Should Nominate FOR SHERIFF Captain John E. Cullison Candidate of all the people.

(Paid Advertisement.) convinced by the facts preserted of the advisability of the United States undertaking the improvement pro posed for the following reasons: "It is believed that the commerce present and prospective to be bene fitted by the increase in depth is not sufficient to justify the cost of the work. "It would be more economical to lighter to and -from Portland the comparatively small amount of deep sea commerce than to . provide and maintain the deep channel to Van couver. "Few full cargo loads could be ex pected at Vancouver and going there with or for part cargo is of doubtful economy. - "It is believed that for the pres ent, Portland, which is 18Vi miles by water and IS miles, or less, by rail from Vancouver, should be re garded as the head of the deep-sea project, and that it is, therefore, in advisable to develop another deep port so near, to Portland whose fa cilities for handling additional wa ter traffic are far from being taxed to their capacity."

I wish to state that this action is without my consent or approval and .that I have no interest in this election from a democratic standpoint except inso far as it -relates to the renomination of Senator Chamberlain, whoe defeat I believe would be a .distinct Joss to Oregon." . i W.
